The Seven Annual Jewish Feasts
In Type and Antitype
Nisan - the first month of the Jewish Calendar, Sivan - the third month, and Tishri - the seventh month.
| TYPE | ANTITYPE |

| Passover (Nisan 14) - Ex. 12:3-14. The father was to act as the priest of the household, and if the father was dead, the eldest son living was to perform this solemn act of sprinkling the door-post with blood. This is a symbol of the work to be done in every family. Parents are to gather their children into the home and to present Christ before them as their Passover. The father is to dedicate every inmate of his home to God, and to do a work that is represented by the feast of the passover. It is perilous to leave this solemn duty in the hands of others. This peril is well illustrated by an incident that is related concerning a Hebrew family on the night of the passover. | Crucifiction |
